I woke up this morn overwhelmed with a crashing weight of rotes descending and i come here and Bets and Doc and Chumley are all bringing it together for me, so thanks!

then I feel doomed in the avalanche as I realize I am just emersed in endless words so will have to go with heart intelligence first and foremost. I'm just a grateful dog here. pet me and I'll drool on you. kick me and I'll just come back for more.

what we've got here on this board to my perception is evidence of a shift in consciousness as we bring old time religious concepts into alignment with a technology age.
There are so many fine books to read out there. Its impossible to get to all of them. I would indeed read the Borg if my intention were to study the man behind the book. Like I said everybody is a book, everybody is interesting, but I think my own head is full of interesting thoughts to the point that there is no conclusionary resting place except in contemplation of myself and my free will to choose what I will read and when.
I wish to read no one except these on this board. I could swim in your thoughts a couple of centuries and never come up for air.
Chumley, you have changed in my mind. I don't know if its because I have changed my perceptions of you, or if you have changed yourself. I would prefer to think you have gone through some major insights and are now surfacing from that to bring to us your thoughts which have remarkable bearing on the shift in consciousness now here.

Each of your thoughts makes us consider the opposite scenario. thats what you're supposed to do. You're absolutely right, in the old days, esoteric truths were purposely hidden from the general seeker after knowledge, the general thought of the day among those who considered themselves the elite and enlightened, was that a little knowledge iin the wrong hands could be quite dangerous therefore Moses (conjecturing) was given some commands for the rest of us running amuck so we'd have some guidelines

seems spirit was doing animals, oh, how awful the mixing of human and animal dna.
by the time Moses was given the commandments spirit had calmed down enough to stick to their own kind. however they were still coveting each other's mates, so we have the admonition "thou shall not commit adultery."

Look around you, we are in a duality polarized world and we still commit adultery and we still covet from our neighbor and justify it in the name we are free to do as we please and not take instruction from any books, new or old.

like I said any book at all is a good place to start reading if you've got the time to consider you may be reading about your own self as all of us are one.

Bets is my friend and yours. she always springs these big words on me and makes me wonder what they mean. ad hominen I never used before and now you whet my appetite. to and Two?  I see this as viewing points or interpretation.
this brings to mind perception is one thing, interpretation of the received perception is individualistic, then I return to Monroe's admonishment "there is no bad, there is no good." all just is.

Doc continues to be a balancing point for me; someone who weighs both sides of a question so we can stay afloat on the board, so the boat doesn't tip over. I surely need him and even obed to him once for a hug.

as for a spirit losing it's previous lives memories...I think we are in agreement here that that condition may occur, but only in a temporary sense. sort of like a process towards the light. We are not mere robots here programmed by our beliefs. We are also gods and goddessess. that is why I support the concept of doing retrievals and that without each others aid we are truly nothing at all, we will always be dependent upon each other to become more than we conceive of right now...we are always in a state of change. resistence is futile in that regard.
by surrendering to our nothingness we proceed to our somethingness.

Happy New Years Eve! 2007 has a feeling of excitement around it for me although I've never celebrated New Years Eve in any year, I think I may allow myself to celebrate this time. love, alysia
